Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

Howard Hawks's Scarface was one of the first "talkies" to reclaim the fluidity of the late-silent masterpieces, while also tapping into a feral new energy that came with talking smart and moving smarter on the motion picture screen. Outgunning such contemporaries as Little Caesar and The Public Enemy--in terms of both its ferocious death-dealing and dynamic style--the movie was interfered with by censors and kept out of circulation for decades thanks to its eccentric producer, Howard Hughes. It remains the gold standard among classic gangster pictures. Paul Muni's portrayal of Al Capone surrogate Tony Camonte etched a screen original: a merciless assassin who's not only reflexively criminal but pre-civilised, almost pre-evolutionary, a simian shadow ready to rub out the world if he can't have it for his own. This is still one of the greatest, darkest, most deeply exciting films American cinema has produced. Those demonically ubiquitous X's--starting with that titular scar gouged into Tony's cheek--rival "Rosebud" for resonance. --Richard T. Jameson

Product Description

Tony Carmonte (Paul Muni) is a ruthless mobster intent on building his empire in prohibition-era Chicago. Fighting off all opposition, he manages to climb to the top of the heap, but thanks to an obsession with his own kid sister, his success will prove shortlived. Produced by the legendary recluse Howard Hughes and directed by Hollywood great Howard Hawks, this is often regarded to be the best of the classic gangster films, setting the standard for all subsequent efforts. It was remade by Brian de Palma in 1983.

5.0 out of 5 stars very potent (anti)gangster film 26 July 2010
By falcon
Format:DVD
this 1932 Gangster film is probably the Granddaddy of all Gangster film.but it really isn't a Gangster picture.it doesn't glorify organized crime/the mafia at all.in fact,it takes the opposite view.sometimes it's as if you're watching a public service announcement or a political campaign to rid the the city/state/country of the mob.it's as if the actors are actually speaking directly to the audience.and maybe they were.regardless,there's no question how powerful the movie is,and how much influence it has had on all films of the genre.the acting is first rate here.Paul Muni is mesmerizing as Antonio 'Tony' Camonte,the main character.but Anne Dvorak as Francesca 'Cesca' Camonte is also brilliant.of the three big films of this genre that came out around the same time(The Public Enemy starring James Cagney,(1931)and Little Caesar,Starring Edward G.Robinson(1931),in my mind this is by far the most powerful and influential.for me,Scarface(1932)is a 5/5

4.0 out of 5 stars Birth Of The Underdog - Raj 15 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
The Starting point for all the great Gangster films, tracing the rise to power of a working class Gangster who survives with his thirst for power, wit and confidance. The only Howard Hawks film I'v seen (YET!) but surly one of the best. A Must see for all film fans! Better than the DePalmer remake? YOU decide.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIR TONY CARMONTE 12 May 2013
By Graham
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This film is outstanding. Taut and full of action. Briiliant performances all round. This has to be seen if you have the taste for black and white gangster American movies of the thirties. Paul Muni is knockout as Tony Carmonte and this man would have been taylor made to play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
